Load NPC Ideos in Dev Mode (Obsolete / Legacy)

Description
INCLUDED IN CORE GAME AS OF 1.3.3117 - NO LONGER NECESSARY
(unless you're playing an older version of 1.3 for some reason)

Adds a simple load button in the vanilla location for NPC ideoligions. Uses the vanilla load methods to the greatest extent possible, in an attempt to make sure IDs are regenerated and to avoid game errors. Own faction load button should still use vanilla methods.

Global game dev mode must be enabled for the button to show up.

Unlike the old version, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from loading your own ideoligion into every single available slot. Doing so is probably not wise, but I'm not even sure it'd technically break anything if you did.

This is my first Rimworld C# / HarmonyLib injection mod; please give me every bit of code feedback you can.

Thanks to Kentington for the original mod; I did look at that as a reference, but this was a clean-sheet rewrite using different methodology, and (as far as I'm aware) none of Kentington's code made it into this mod. Kentington's mod can be found here, and mine should be compatible with theirs, though use of both at once is redundant.

Known bug: icons don't show up right at first. Opening the edit symbols dialog and immediately clicking "Done" should fix it.

Permission is preemptively granted to fork or otherwise continue this mod if it becomes outdated.

It would mean a lot if you updated it. It's saved me hours when starting a new game.

As far as updating this mod, I'll see what's the best thing to do. I made this primarily for myself, and I'm not familiar enough with how other people used it to know what usage holes I still have to fill.

You can still load ideologies at the starting ideology screen in vanilla with dev mode on. Select "Custom Ideology (Fixed)", select each faction's ideology, load a different target ideology on top, then back out a level and load/create your player faction ideology.

This Mod allowed you to load them during the STARTING Faction selection screen. The Faction Control lets you do it mid-game. That's why I hope it comes back. I really need both.

Best successor mod to this is Faction Customizer, which does allow loading ideos mid-game. I'm not sure what I want to do with this right now.

I am experiencing the same problem as Jmbc there. The button does not exist in the starting Ideology screen, even with Development Mode enabled.

As a person whose Faction amounts caused over six hours to set them, this Mod was a God send. I used it to load certain Factions and save a butt ton of time.

this mod isn't completely obsolete, bescause in vanilla you can't load a ideology during the game.

How can I activate the load buton in vanilla? I have the dev mode activated but the buton doesn't appear

update?

For me the only bugs were errors related to the missing mods. But I used dev mode to change the ideoligion to not use content from the missing mods and the errors went away. Would love any updates but take your time!
